Why I Love Publix

Jennifer,
IT Delivery Manager

I first started working as a cashier for Publix during college. After graduation, I transferred to Information Systems as a Help Desk Operator assisting store personnel with system-related problems. I eventually moved into programming and then into systems analysis.

Through the years, Publix has invested in me with technical and professional training to ensure I have everything I need to be successful in my career. The challenges and the rewards of this environment have made it possible for me to advance from a Programmer to IT Management. I never imagined I would enjoy my career so much. I have experienced so many exciting opportunities with my work, and I am always very proud to say I work for Publix.

After 15 years in Information Systems, I still love working for Publix. I am grateful for the opportunities I have every day for professional and personal growth. In addition, I work with incredible people that genuinely care about this company, our mission and our customers.

My husband also works for Publix and has been with the company for 29 years. We are definitely a "Publix" family and appreciate all Publix has done for us.
